Remember when buying a PC was semi-affordable? That was nice. Now it’s transitioning into a luxury product.

Makes sense, I myself live in the countryside, so I haven’t really had to put up with the pigeon density found in cities.

That’s fair. I think I too would hate something if it shat everywhere in my workplace.

I’m curious, why do you hate pigeons?

That’s me with Battlefield 6. I fucking hate it, but I have too much fun playing BF6 with friends to only have Linux.

I’m not bi, but I can still appreciate masculine beauty. Beauty is beauty, after all, regardless of someone’s gender.

Ehh. It’s definitely going to be more than traditional consoles. Whether it’s worth it to you depends on how much you care about having a console like experience on your TV, except with your steam library, and all the goodness that comes with a Linux-based OS.

Elon?

Well, I do like free stuff.

Very Private Now, pls.

They’ll never take me aliiiiiiive.

Thanks! Yes, Synology is on another device (my Synology NAS). Honestly? Never going to buy Synology again. Once it stops working for whatever reason, I might just make my own. The Synology DSM is a nightmare to work with - absolutely horrible UX and UI. Did you know it doesn’t even have a dark mode?

Anyway, yeah, it’s mounted to some to my Mini PC running Proxmox and all my other services. I store the media stack’s content on there, some service configs, and I’m also currently using Proxmox’s built-in backup feature for daily backups of my LXCs/VM, and put those on there too.

Since making this post I’ve also set up AdGuard and NPMPlus. I now have external and internal domains for my services, depending on if I wanted to make them externally accessible or not. Unfortunately, EE is annoying, and the router they gave me doesn’t allow me to set a DNS server, so I have to figure out what I wanna do about that. Right now I’ve just set it manually on my Linux install for testing.

I’m running Proxmox on a mini PC. On Proxmox, I have AdGuard, NPMPlus, and Homepage LXCs, as well as a VM for Docker, with Jellyseerr, Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Notifiarr, and qBittorrent containers.

I haven’t really done much with NPM or AdGuard yet. But all the other services are set up and communicating with each other - so I can request media via my Discord server, or Jellyseerr’s web ui, and it’ll go through the right apps and add them to Jellyfin for me to watch. All the media, configs, backups, etc., are all stored on my NAS, since I’ve got a few TB of space on there.

I also realised before going to sleep that while it feels like I’ve been working on it for a straight week, I only actually started setting it up on the 5th.

This is the latest screenshot I have of my dashboard, still adding stuff to it and tweaking it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Prowlarr and FlareSolverr aswell, I keep forgetting about them because they’re very backend.

Well, my ADHD decided I should hyperfocus on setting up my homelab again. So I have been. For the past several days. With no breaks to relax, just homelab, eating and sleeping. As you’d get expect, I’m pretty drained, but at least my homelab is 80-90% done now.

And what about people who feel exhausted by every type of social interaction? Because that’s my experience. I’m not saying it cannot change over time, but labels can still be useful. When someone describes themselves as an introvert, nobody assumes they are drained by every single interaction. People generally understand it as a way of describing how someone responds to strangers or groups, rather than how they respond to all interaction.

There is nothing wrong with that. A label can help someone express a pattern they recognise in themselves without believing they are trapped by it. It is simply a way of communicating how they tend to feel in certain situations. Many people adopt mindsets that feel natural or comfortable without assuming those mindsets define them forever.

Now where’s the poetic gooner?

It’s more of a reddish-brown tbh.

Yes, it is. I had assumed you were British, since the tweet is also about a British, albeit multinational, store chain. My bad, perhaps I should’ve looked at the instance you’re from.

Do you live in a city? In the admittedly pretty large village I live in, I hear it almost every time I go to Home Bargains.

I think he just doesn’t have a filter. He says what he thinks, and that often comes across as abrasive. He has an extremely low tolerance for idiots, which I think is where most of his anger has been directed to, but he has mellowed out over the years.
